JANALAH EKONOMI NEGARA DENGAN IKHLAS UNTUK RAKYAT (SERUAN NIK ZAFRI)

ISU-ISU SEMASA PASCA PEMBENTUKAN KABINET 2022 - BAHAGIAN 1 - OLEH NIK ZAFRI
ISU TELUR
Sebagai pelan jangka pendek, Kementerian Pertanian dan Keterjaminan Makanan mengenal pasti beberapa sumber dari luar untuk menampung keperluan bekalan dalam negara dengan kadar segera bagi memastikan keterjaminan telur ayam di pasaran.
Masalah sekarang seperti yang disentuh oleh YAB PM baru-baru ini ialah menangani masalah kartel terlebih dahulu - yang telah lama menguasai pasaran dan "supply chain" - termasuk pasaraya, pembekal malah penternakan ayam itu sendiri.
Kartel ini sangat berpengaruh - mampu "mengugut" kerajaan - bagaikan gengster, mampu menjadikan kes sorok besar-besaran malah mampu memindahkan bekalan telur (Gred C) dari stor pasaraya supaya rak-rak telur hanya meletakkan telur yang gred tinggi termasuk Omega. Ini semua berlaku kerana kurangnya ketegasan penguatkuasaan KPDNHEP.
Jika sumber luar seperti yang disebut itu berjaya dimasukkan ke pasaraya, tidak mustahil akan berlaku banyak sabotaj, contohnya kes kekurangan bekalan gula dulu, saya lihat banyak gula telah ditebuk supaya bocor di pasaraya-pasaraya yang saya lawati.
Tidak mustahil kalau ada pihak yang memecahkan telur-telur ini atau menukarnya dengan telur yang sudah rosak kerana kawalan keselamatan di pasaraya kadang-kadang amat longgar.
Kita kena berfikir di luar kotak, jika kartel berjaya dimusnahkan monopoli mereka, saya sebagai rakyat akan rasa lebih aman kerana saya tahu kos/harga telur akan dapat dikurangkan.
Seperkara lagi kes bekalan ayam, ini perlu diberikan perhatian serius. Kos makanan/dedak sangatlah mahal kerana kita mengimpot sesetengah bahan dari negara luar, sekurang-kurangnya ladang-ladang jagung perlu diperbanyakkan kerana jagung juga boleh menjadi sebahagian dari makanan ayam.

ISU MONOPOLI
Saya bersetuju dengan pandangan beberapa rakan di Facebook bahawa penguasaan beras oleh Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary bukan satu isu kerana harga beras masih terkawal (RM13.00 atau RM12.95) untuk beras 5kg gred rendah dan ramai lagi yang mampu membeli beras.
(walaupun atas sebab-sebab yang agak tidak munasabah, kita masih mengimpot beras dari negara jiran walaupun pesawah padi di beberapa negeri telah mampu menanam padi grednya sama. Ada yang menyebut harga beras impot negara jiran lebih murah dan kualiti tinggi tetapi masalahnya duit kita mengalir keluar. Saya lebih rela membeli dengan syarikat tempatan kerana saya tahu duit yang saya belanjakan akan menjadi pendapatan negara dan bukan milik negara jiran dan harga beras juga dapat dikurangkan) Sekiranya "monopoli" beras dipecahkan, saya bimbang kalau harga beras akan melambung tinggi sehingga harga siling contohnya RM14.50 - RM15.00 utk 5kg beras gred rendah. Sememangnya monopoli perlu ditangani, tetapi ada lagi isu-isu yang lebih penting iaitu a) Pada zaman salah seorang PM dulu, ada syarikat (kroni) yang mendapat "Central Contract" (kontrak berpusat) untuk pelbagai perkakasan ODM/OEM jentera/komputer - yang TIDAK sepatutnya berlaku. Walaupun syarikat berkenaan cuba mengadakan VDP, namun, ianya gagal kerana sistem itu menjadi terlalu mahal untuk dilaksanakan. Walau apapun konsep "Central Contract" ini MESTILAH DIHAPUSKAN. (Isu yang sama pernah saya sebut pada pasca PRU-14) (tidak mahulah saya menyebut beberapa syarikat lagi dalam industri seperti makanan yang ada hubungan kekeluargaan dengan PM berkenaan b) Pada zaman seorang lagi PM, ada syarikat yang menguasai bahan-bahan penting dalam binaan (contohnya konkrit, besi dsb) dan semua kontraktor (kroni) yang dipilih WAJIB membeli bahan-bahan berkenaan dengan mereka untuk satu projek yang bernilai puluhan billion ringgit. Ini juga satu bentuk MONOPOLI yang wajib Kerajaan hapuskan. (Isu ini juga pernah saya sebut pada pasca PRU-14) (tidak mahulah saya menyebut siapa pemonopoli dan juga kontraktor-kontraktor berkenaan kerana kami dalam sektor pembinaan mengenali siapa kontraktor berwibawa/berpengalaman atau kontraktor "bidang terjun" yang "membeli syarikat yang mempunyai lesen G7 serta bertaraf bumiputera dengan pengetahuan sesetengah pegawai 2 agensi tanpa melalui proses yang betul") Remember, Good Governance is extremely important and Good Governance involve TRANSPARENCY!

(Allahyarham) MOHD HASHIM MUSTAPHA - MALAYSIA SOCCER LEGEND - by Nik Zafri
Al-Fatihah
Originally written by Nik Zafri in the Sultan Ismail College Alumni on Wednesday, 26 November 2014 at 00:54
Jersey No. 10
Clubs - Kedah FA : Malaysia FA Cup : 1996
Johor FA : Premier 2 League : 1999
International : 1987 SEA Games:Runners-up
Individual
1993 Premier 1 League: Golden Boots Winner With Kelantan FA (13 goals).
1994 Premier 1 League: Golden Boots Winner With Kelantan FA (25 goals).
Hashim once joined the then Harimau Malaysia where he and his team have been personally coached by the legendary Kevin Keegan (he even impressed Kevin) where the team won so many matches all over Asia including Australia before the team was disbanded.
Allahyarham Mokhtar Dahari where Mokhtar mentioning; in one interview; about passing the flag to Hashim.
To many who may not know, Hashim was also known as a 100m and 200m sprint athlete (both individual and relay) besides high jump and long jump (where so many school/college records have been made)
In 100m - he once clocked an average 10.9 -11 seconds (or less) which raised the eyebrows of Jeffri Mohd Noor (who was the record holder at that time) a national sprinter also a student of Sultan Ismail College Kelantan. But Hashim was not really eager to be a sprinter but it was an honour to me personally to be teamed up with him in 4 X 100 metres and 4 X 400 metres - where he took the final dash and awarded victory to our team 'Pasukan Wong'
